GLOBAL WARMING

The other night I saw the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" on TV. I don't know what the reviewers said about this film, but I thought is was worth seeing. I can't stop thinking about it. Mike tells me that this is an improbable senerio, but to my uneducated mind it makes sense,

After catching a bit of the news about the flooding in Bombay, where they experienced 37 inches of rain in one day, it seemed even more possible.

Some things just stick in your mind. Like the so-so book I read once in the early Eighties. THE HAB THEORY wasn't a great book but the premise has not left me. Even after all these years.

SEPARATION

THE DOORS OF PERCEPTION
...by Aldous Huxley

"We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies -- all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can pool information about experiences, but never experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes."

The other day, I tried to explain my mystical and spiritual view to someone. I failed.
